Confirmed from Oak Grove Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Public park with a playground, a pond, walking trail, picnic shelters, and an amphitheater.
What runners say about Oak Grove Park
“The areas where kiddos play is clear of debris and very well maintained.”
“Beautiful open park with walk around trail, playground, duck pond, and amphitheater.”
I brought my kiddos here today so they could enjoy the sunshine and play. There is a paved walking trail that encircles the outer edges of the park. The areas where kiddos play is clear of debris and very well maintained.
100% will be back to this park! My sister in law wanted to take our boys out and this was great :) my son didn't care for the jungle gym but that's more because he likes to run and there's a lot of space here to allow children to run! We took a small walk around the paved path.
I love searching out new parks with my kids, and this one probably tops them all. There’s a nice playground, big pond, paved walking trail, so many shade trees, very large shelter, benches all around, clean bathrooms, and a massive stage- check into Gladstone Theatre in the Park.
Lovely older park with many large trees. It contains a small lake, a new large covered picnic shelter, new restrooms, a nice playground, a sand volleyball court, and a well maintained asphalt walking trail with nice benches spaced around. It also has a small amphitheater for summer music shows and plays, held outdoors.
